Simon's first wife Jane Masterson died at the age of 28 in 1832. Some information that I have (don't know where I got it) indicates that Simon and Jane also had a Mary and Hannah who died young. He paid for 5 passages from England.
Also that Simon and Mary are buried at Wheatley River. (Simon - brother or father I don't know). We don't know much about his second wife Ann Stead, but they were married by L.C. Jenkins at St. Pauls Angligan Church in Charlottetown. Witnesses for their marriage were Edward Ford, James Andrews and Donald MacDonald. By the 1861 census, Simon had turned over lot 23 to his son Simon and was now living on lot 19 that consisted of 100 acres.

2 females 16-45 Ann and ?

Where is Jane born 1828?

1 female 5-16
1 female 16-21

Could Simon married to Christine McDonald have had other children? I have from Salley Bailey Emiley C. Day m. to John A. McDonell, A Mary Frances Day m. to Henery A. Holl, James A Day m. to Mary MacWilliams. The birth dates for them coincide with their children.

[Lucy Fandek]The following is a letter from Douglas M. MacDonald to Sally Bailey whose husband is a Day descendant. I have tried to type it just as he wrote it.
Prince Edward Island
Winsloe RR2
COA 2H0
August 9, 1980
Dear Mrs. Bailey
I have always been told that a poor way to start a letter is with an apology, but I will do that about my writing, it is hard to read, I don't write very often.
You have been inquiring about Christy MacDonald, she was my great great aunt, my father was John my grandfather Norman, and my great grandfather was Donald, brother of Christy.
Their father was Alexander who died in Skye, Scotland at the age fifty six with a pain between the shoulders (probably pneumonia) the glen they lived in was called CAMPILS KEMMORY, he was a shepherd in the hills he also dried and burned KELP and extracted the nitrate of soda that was used to make explosives that were used in the Nepolianic wars. His wife was a MacPherson we don't know her first name.
She came as a widow to Glasgow Good about 1833 with two sons and two daughters.
Norman, Donald, Christy, I don't know the name of the older. It was Mary, wife of James O (or an A...Lucy's note) Andrews son of John and Margaret (Catchpole) Andrews. (I don't understand this last sentence. Could he mean that Mary is the older one be couldn't remember?....Lucy's note)
Norman was seventeen and went to work in the lumberwoods at Mirimichi N.B., to make a bit of money. He broke his leg in an accident, he made his way home to his mother, but died from infection the rough edges of the bone had broken the skin.
We don't know where he is buried. When my great great grandmother arrived on PEI she left her youngest son Donald with her husbands brother in Belfast PEI, he didn't like it there and run away, he walked the forty five miles to Glasgow Good to be with his mother he was nine years old.
He was called Donald (the widow) he never went to school, when he grew up he married an English speaking girl, by the name of Hannah Andrews who taught him to read, Hannah was a Baptist in religion, and she encouraged him to read the Bible which he did from cover to cover, he then decided the Baptist were right and became one.
Meanwhile his mother was disappointed with his marriage. She spoke only Gaelic while the young woman spoke any English, she wanted to go home. So one spring Donald sold off some cattle and she went back home to her people in Skye. I don't know if they ever heard from her after. One wonders what kind of a welcome an elderly widow would receive. All I know about Christy is that she had a son Archibald, he and my grandfather Norman met one day in Charlottetown, PEI (perhaps in a tavern) and they agreed to call their first sons after each other. So Archie Day called his son Norman Day.
But my grandfather had four daughters before my father born, he forgot his promise and they called him John. Some months later Archie Day called and reminded them of the pledge so they added the name Archibald. He was known as John Archibald MacDonald he would be 92 if he were living.
Norman Day was married and they had one son Wesley before they separated. He is a bachelor about seventy years of age.
If my memory serves me right Simon Day was married three times one wife was an Andrews, a legend about the Day family, is that they were Jewish in England, which is a religion, later becoming Christians.
We still live on the Glasgow Good directly opposite the farm where my ancestors settled. I have a brother Alfred on my grandfather�s farm.
We are farmers, my wife Beth is a teacher. We have three children, Norma Jean, Margaret and Jain which is the Gaelic for John. Norma Jean has a degree in education. Margaret is studying to be a legal secretary, and Jain is a grade 12 high school student interested in golf, hockey and soccer. If you have any question I will try to help.
We have visited your lovely state of Vermont, and have been thrilled with the loveliness of your countryside, and the friendliness of the people.
I hope you can see fit to vote for Ronald Reagan this fall (don't take that statement seriously)
Sincerely Yours

I have also Appin Road. [Dana]
Grandpa was a farmer and also owned a sawmill. By the time I was old enough to remember things, Grandpa and grandma were getting up they�re in years. I never knew grandpa without a beard or with two hands. Mama told me that grandpa's left sleeve got caught in the circular saw of the mill and drug his arm in to the saw. He lost his arm just below the left elbow. He had an artificial hand and arm, but I never knew him to wear it. Perhaps he saved it just for only dress occasions, or maybe it wasn't very functional. I do remember him wearing and using a hook that he could open and close. And when I was little, he would beckon me over to him and ask, "Is that a wear hole or a tear hole"? and the next thing you'd know, he'd stick his hook into a hole on my slacks and rrrrriiiiipppp. Didn't make any difference what I would say, because he was going to rip it anyway. I wonder what my mother thought of his tricks. She never ever said anything about the bigger holes in our clothes.
On those long hot and muggy days when I was young, grandpa and I would go sit on the bench he'd made, in the long shadows of the afternoon. Sometimes there would be a breath of air to cool us, sometimes the sweat would trickle down our foreheads. It would drip off the end of his nose. The bench sat along the south wall of the porch where we could look off across the pastures, garden, the barn, and the county road. It was easy to see Mr. and Mrs. Goszewski's place from here. We always thought Kluge's drove too fast on the dirt road. And without fail the cloud of dust sifted our way. (They were neighbors that lived further up the road on the top of the hill). One time Grandpa said, "I bet you can't catch that fly". So with accurate aim and speed I swiped one up that had landed on my leg, and proudly boasted my catch, whereupon he grabbed my closed hand and squished the fly in my palm.
I was told that he could really play a fine harmonica when he was young and that he played for dances. He played his "mouth organ" every day that I can remember. He was never without it. If it wasn't in his left shirt pocket it was in his right hand. I'd say one of his favorite tunes was "The Bear Went Over The Mountain". Many times I would lay my face on his chest and grew up knowing the tunes he played simply by the rise and fall of his chest as he breathed in and out for the different note patterns. I never asked to play his harmonica, but I bet I could have.
Grandpa always wore a plaid shirt, cotton, flannel or otherwise, pants that were too large in the waist, (at least to my way of thinking) and suspenders. He had his own smell which I was very fond of. It was grandpa. He loved his apple trees and the flower gardens and me. He was always nice to me and always had a hug and a smile for me.
By the time I turned fifteen, grandpa had suffered numerous strokes. They were usually small, but one by one they managed to incapacitate him in one way or another. I went to live with grandpa and grandma that year (1961) and stayed there until his death in 1963. [Lucy Fandek].
He married MYRTLE ELIZABETH COOK, July 04, 1909, in Washburn, Bayfield County, Wisconsin, b. February 06, 1890, Davenport, Scott County, Iowa, (daughter of THOMAS H. COOK JR. and ELIZABETH MARIE LEMBECK) d. March 29, 1983, Ashland, Ashland County, Wisconsin, buried: Washburn, Bayfield County, Wisconsin.
MYRTLE: Grandma was an admirable woman. One of my earliest memories of her, and if I close my eyes I can still see it, she was driving the team home from the field where she had been plowing. She wore a floppy straw hat, bibbed denim coveralls and a plaid shirt. I remember it had a lot of red in it. Maybe it was one of grandpa's. And the straw hat had a frayed edge on one side. The lines were wrapped around both of her arms and it scared me and I remember thinking if the team runs they will drag her. She worked hard and carried an extra load because of grandpa's handicap. She had barn chores, course most women on farms then did. I also remember going over to grandma's one time to "visit" and found her up on the roof putting on new paper. She was in her coveralls again. Those were the only two times I ever saw my grandmother wear anything but her house dress and an apron. She grew the best flower gardens around. I swear she had the best raspberry patch, too. Sweet Williams must have been a favorite of hers because it grew everywhere. Today, it is my favorite.
Grandma's house was a favorite place for birthday and holiday gatherings, and for no special occasion at all. Her kitchen was grand in my opinion. You came into the kitchen off the porch to a linoleum floor, ruffled blue and white plaid curtains on the two kitchen windows on your right, and immediately to your left was the wood stove and bakers cabinet. It was handsomely hand carved. The old wooden kitchen table sat under the two windows when it wasn't pulled out for a group, and was always covered with a clean, crisp tablecloth. On one far wall sat a couch and the refrigerator. The kitchen was wallpapered. We would be greeted with the smells of buns baking in the wood stove oven, pots of all kinds boiling and simmering on top of the stove, things "keeping warm" in the warming ovens. The table would be pulled out into the middle of the floor and expanded to its limit with all the extra boards put in. It would take several tablecloths to cover it all, plates and chairs and silverware for the crowd. Never a meal was tasted without a blessing. Her meals were the most delicious. Mashed potatoes and gravy, vegetables from the garden, meat, jams, pickles and always her homemade breads and buns. And always a cake with boiled frosting. There was love and laughter and joy all around and in every corner of her home.
The year and a half that I lived with her and grandpa were a gift to me that I recognize now. I remember back to getting off the school bus and being greeted to the warmth and smells of the cook stove and dinner cooking. I remember her wonderful hugs of greetings. Sometimes if the radio was playing and the tune was a lively one, she would grab me and around the room we would dance and twirl. I don't know who laughed the most.
Those had to have been difficult years for her, but she never let on to me they were. Each night I would be the last one to bed. I would go check at their bedroom door and see that they were "in" for the night. Grandma slept next to the wall and grandpa on the outside. That way they could hold hands when they fell asleep, grandma said. She said they had fallen asleep that way every night since the day they got married.
In the morning I would try to be first up to get the fire started. Grandma had taught me how to cut shavings on the smaller pieces of wood so they would catch fire easier. She had an old butcher knife for that purpose. Grandma gave me a beautiful water pitcher and bowl that had belonged to her mother (Elizabeth Lembeck). This same set sat on the dresser in my room upstairs at grandma and grandpa's house. The set came from Germany. Today it graciously sits on an old dresser in the spare bedroom of our home, the room that I call my mother�s room. [Lucy Fandek].
